Methyl 2-bromo-5-methoxybenzoate（Cat No.:R035747）is an aromatic ester featuring a bromine atom at the ortho position and a methoxy group at the meta position relative to the ester function. This compound is commonly used as a synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. The bromine enables participation in palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Suzuki or Heck couplings, while the methoxy group influences electronic distribution across the aromatic ring. Its structural features make it suitable for building more complex benzoate derivatives, aiding in the development of bioactive molecules and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies.
